A family member mentioned to us that their friend had just purchased a house and was raving about their agent, Leslie Bandy. We set up an initial meeting with Leslie and immediately felt like we made the right choice. She was clearly knowledgeable about the Oakland housing market and was able to offer balanced and thoughtful responses to all of our questions (trust me, we had a lot of them!). Over the weeks, Leslie continued to meet with us to view homes, discuss market conditions, and talk about what our needs were. She was quick to get us disclosure packets, and moved quickly on paperwork whenever we decided to place an offer on a home. There were a few times when we were unsure of whether to place an offer on a home- we especially appreciated that in these moments, she never tried to sway us one way or another, and always listened to our opinions and concerns.

There were a few times when we were unsure of whether to place an offer on a home- we especially appreciated that in these moments, she never tried to sway us one way or another, and always listened to our opinions and concerns. Buying a home in the Bay Area is not easy, but she made the home-buying process such a smooth one for us, and in the end, we closed on a home that we love at a price point that fit our budget. We're so happy with the result, and we will now rave about her to all of our friends and family!
Leslie helped us find and close on a home in 7 weeks (from search to an 11 day closing). She was an amazing wealth of knowledge of the Oakland housing market, and also gave good suggestions on lenders and contractors, with whom she had a great relationship. Leslie has good instincts about homes and does thorough research - detailed review of disclosures, communication with sellers' agents, negotiating preemptive offers, scoping out open houses, and interviewing neighbors. Working with Leslie means you do not have to compromise. With her help we bought exactly the house that we wanted at the price we wanted. If you are an organized buyer that knows what you what, Leslie is the realtor for you. She is exceptionally impartial - never pushy or judgmental (it's going to be your future house after all) - and yet always on your side. She provided us with everything that we needed to make an inf…

She provided us with everything that we needed to make an informed decision, and was always honest about the pros and cons of a property or making a deal.
Leslie stuck with us through the challenging process of acquiring our home in the Oakland Hills. She was always a text or a phone call away to answer any questions and or schedule and appointment to see new properties as they came on the market. She provided this high level of service through the whole process (which was not an insignificant amount of time). We we're lucky to have Leslie's expertise on our side and are very happy in our new home!
Leslie is an outstanding agent. I would recommend her to anyone. It was a pleasure working with her. Very professional. Informative and relatable. Great personality. Thank you, Leslie.
